Torch

So, a busy day with an early start today, but when you're on holiday, that doesn't really matter does it!

We were up early so that we could go down to Rochester and get a good spot from which to see the Olympic torch go past, and we secured a position opposite the cathedral, and waited for the fun to start. As the crowds built, so did the atmosphere, and it was super to be a part of the Olympic torch experience. We were able to see a handover between torch-bearers (when the torches "kiss"!) and Jake was even able to have his picture taken with a torch-bearer and his torch.

Once we'd got home from Rochester we finished off packing and headed for the Cotswolds Water Park. Our house is great (left hand end of the photo below), and we've been out and had an explore of this part of the park, played a few games of badminton and frisbee out on the grass, and settled in rather nicely.

No specific plans for tomorrow, other than a slow start and taking things as they come.

Rumour has it that we might even see some summer weather during the next few days ...
